It all begins with the removal of the bone, which creates a base ready to absorb the flavors. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pork legs are then seasoned with a <strong>brine<\/strong> of salt, spices and natural flavors, which penetrates the meat to enhance its flavor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A crucial step follows: <strong>massaging<\/strong> \u2013 the so-called <em>zangolatura<\/em> \u2013 which evenly distributes the flavors and tenderizes the meat.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being placed in special molds, the meat is slowly cooked in <strong>special steam ovens<\/strong> at a temperature of about 75\u00b0C, for a time that varies depending on its size, generally between 9 and 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product categories<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several product categories on the market, which differ in consistency, water content and processing quality.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three types are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prosciutto cotto<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selected prosciutto cotto<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-quality prosciutto cotto<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prosciutto cotto is a soft and delicate cured meat made from the slow cooking of pork thighs.
